Preparing Nurses to Better Understand and Address Health Equity
As the U.S. population becomes increasingly more diverse, nurses must be prepared to treat people from all backgrounds and experiences. However, schools and health systems have not always equipped their nurses to understand, identify, and act in addressing health inequities.
Now more than ever, nurses must be prepared to recognize when an individual is struggling due to health disparities and feel equipped to deliver the appropriate care to that person. In this episode, we hear the stories from nurses and other health experts that explore how educators and employers can better prepare nurses to understand and address health equity through strengthening nursing school curricula, mitigating implicit bias, and increasing diversity in the nursing workforce.
In this episode, we hear from:
Dr. Felesia Bowen
Dr. Regina Cunningham
Dr. Noelene Jeffers
Dr. Greer Glazer
Dr. Kenya Beard
Dr. David Williams
